What’s the experience like?

Hands gripping the wheel tighter than I expected, sand kicking up behind us as the SXS X3 bounced over dunes near Migriño Beach—yeah, that’s how it started. Our guide, José, just grinned and shouted something about “la aventura” over the engine noise. The Pacific wind was sharp and salty, but honestly, all I could focus on was not flying off the trail. There’s this weird mix of adrenaline and laughter when you’re sharing a UTV with someone you barely know—my cousin kept yelling “go faster!” even though my heart was already racing.

After we parked (and caught our breath), we headed over to where the camels were waiting. Didn’t expect to see camels in Los Cabos, but there they were—big eyes, slow blinks, and that earthy smell I still can’t quite describe. Our guide handed me a carrot and told me to feed Luna (the camel) gently. She took it right from my palm—her lips felt kind of tickly? We climbed on for a slow walk along the sand. The ocean was right there, blue and loud, but somehow everything felt quieter up on that camel’s back. José explained how camels deal with heat here—he made it sound almost poetic.

I probably looked ridiculous trying to pronounce “Migriño,” but nobody seemed to mind. Afterward we got this huge “super burro”—basically a burrito but bigger—and some cold aguas frescas that tasted like lime and sunshine. There was a tequila tasting too; I tried to sip slowly but ended up coughing anyway. The group laughed with me instead of at me (I think). It all felt easygoing—nobody rushed us back to the van or anything.

On the drive back to our hotel, sand still stuck between my toes and hair wild from the wind, I kept thinking about Luna’s calm eyes and that wild stretch of beach. If you’re looking for something that’s half wild ride, half quiet surprise—a real day trip in Los Cabos—I’d say try this combo tour at least once.
